With a 35-15 you can just get in close and shoot. With a 50, you need to consider what you want in or out of the frame and move appropriately. Aperture comes into play as well. Sometimes, nothing in focus but a small point is exactly what the image screams for. Other times F8 and be there works just fine. So, for me, it comes down to which 50. Summicron or Sonnar, Summilux or Serenar, Summarit or Summar, SMC or Super Spectra, Nikon or Zeiss, then there is always the Elmar or Summitar. All with different looks especially as you open up and move in close. Don dorysrus@mindspring.com
